Christmas is my favorite holiday! I love the lights, the presents, the food, and most of all, the company! <3<3<3

So for this manicure I wanted to do something a little sparkly, but first I had to clean up my nails. It has been weeks since I have done anything with my nails. I am finally on winter break from pharm school and I took some time out to pamper myself. Since I haven’t been able to do anything but study during school, my nails just kept growing. For a base color I used OPI In the Spot-Light Pink once again; I think it is one of my favorites. I absolutely, absolutely love the finish, the sheerness, and the light color. Next I used China Glaze Lorelei’s Tiara for my tips. I didn’t use any french tip guides for this part. I just followed the line of my nails. I love this color by China Glaze. The blue glitter flecks are perfect! Unfortunately, the night before I went to paint my nails one of my nails broke. But instead of cutting all my nails short, I just tried to make it work…Next, using Orly Stone Cold and my Konad stamper I stamped some light blue snow flakes on my nail beds.

So most of you know that I had a wedding to go to a couple of weekends ago. I wasn’t sure what to do really, but I wanted to do something very simple and classic. It was a nice outdoor ceremony and the weather was perfect.

Me and the bf. ❤

The colors the bride chose were purple and silver, so I decided to do the same colors for my nails.

I used OPI Planks A Lot to compliment the bride’s wedding colors. This color is from the Pirates of the Caribbean collection that came out earlier this year. For more colors and pictures of the Pirates of the Caribbean collection you can see them here.

I know it’s been a long time since my last post. And I apologize. I’ve just been trying to get everything together before school starts (which is this coming Monday!!!! yeeeeee!!)

Hopefully this post makes up for it.

Now, I’m not really one for animal print. A little bit here and a little bit there isn’t so bad though. If I had to pick a favorite animal print it would probably be giraffe or zebra. I didn’t quite have the colors for a giraffe print, but I did do zebra! My inspiration came from this cute mirror for my purse.

I just picked this up at a Sephora the other day for only $8!! I absolutely love Tokidoki. I bought my first Tokidoki bag in 2005. It started with a bag here, some shoes there, a couple of vinyl toys there, and now nails. =)

First I started out with my nailene guides to tape off a slant on my nails.

If you buy the Perfect tips and toes by nailene you get the curved nail strips plus straight strips as well, which is what I used.

Using OPI Alpine Snow I painted the below the nail guide. When they were dry I removed the strip to reveal this.

To create an nice off white I used OPI No Bees Please (3 coats exactly).

I then waited for my nails to completely dry. I taped off my nails with some scotch tape to ensure that I didn’t get any nail polish on the top of my nails. Next, I used my Konad plate m69 for the zebra print. The color I used was OPI San Tan-tonio.
